Frequently Asked Questions

What is a French face lift?

This non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure involves the careful placement of sutures to lift sagging facial tissue. 

Who can have a French lift?

A French lift can benefit individuals who would like to correct sagging jowls, drooping cheeks and pronounced nasolabial folds (nose to lips lines).

How does the French Face lift work?

Sutures made of propylene (a biocompatible material) are strategically inserted in the hairline. These sutures support underlying tissue by applying a gentle upwards tension. This results in the lifting of sagging cheeks, jowls and reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds.

What does the procedure involve? 

A local anaesthetic is used to carry out this procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes to perform. Discreet incisions in the hairline are made using a long needle and the sutures are then inserted into place. Looping of the sutures scoop up and thereby lift the required facial tissue.

What is the downtime?

It is normal to experience some swelling and bruising following the French lift procedure. It typically takes between seven and ten days for this to resolve. 

How long do the results last for?

Results of the French face lift can last up to five years
